While you are modifying the README, could you add a CONTRIBUTING or CONTRIBUTING.md \
or Contributing.pod file as well? This would make it so that the "How to Contribute" \
link in the left sidebar on the metacpan.org page would display something useful. \
Personally, this is always the first link I check when I want to submit a patch or \
issue on something Perl-related. Compare \
https://metacpan.org/dist/mod_perl/contribute to \
https://metacpan.org/dist/DBD-Pg/contribute, e.g. This file should document how to \
check out the source code repository, how and where to submit patches, where to file \
issues, etc. I think it would be extremely useful, and it doesn't need to be anything \
elaborate. You could just copy \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bucardo/dbdpg/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and make some \
edits to that.

Thanks,
Ed
